Which color is your favorite? I still don't get why Deep Black is a color... can someone explain? Or maybe I should be using it only on white paper.

[@michellezareas8276]

Thank you, this is greatly appreciated!

[@AudreyRaDesign]

You're welcome! Thank you for taking the time to write a positive comment. Did you get this set?

[@Babyjohn8170]

I enjoy using metallic colors. This is the first time I completely watched a swashing paint video. Great job.😊

[@AudreyRaDesign]

Thank you so much for all your kind comments!

[@appleknocker56]

You can also paint first with your regular watercolors on your white paper (try to match colors) & get shine but the depth of color underneath!

[@AudreyRaDesign]

Great point! I kind of did that when I painted most recently in the watercolor moons. I'll have to keep playing around with them!

[@taismoke]

I wonder if the black color was included to the palette to be used as a first layer on white paper, so metallics would stand out more…

[@AudreyRaDesign]

That's a good point! I'll have to try the black on white watercolor paper!

[@krystalbailey1474]

Yeah. I do the same with my special shiny eyeshadow colors-put down black eyeshadow then layer the special shade on top so it can really pop

[@PeachesandMoss]

Smart thinking

These are so beautiful.

[@AudreyRaDesign]

Thank you so much! Anything metallic always gets to me. Now I just need to buy larger black watercolor paper :D

Do you have to use these paints on black paper to get results? I just bought seven pans of FineTec and was really disappointed on how they look in the pan vs. on the paper (white cold press w/c paper). Purple didn't look purple at all, etc. The only two colors that came through the swatch process was ruby and bronze. All the others did not. I spent a small fortune on these individual pans.

[@AudreyRaDesign]

Hi there! I've had that unfortunate experience with painting with metallic colors on white paper, too. While the golds seem to shimmer well on white watercolor paper, I haven't had that luck with other colors like the purples and blues. Sometimes they end up looking a bit grey and dull. I think painting on black paper will really make them shine, as I did in this video. But it's not necessarily "wrong" to paint on white watercolor paper. Are you able to return and get your $$ back?

[@catzenhouse]

@@AudreyRaDesign I got them through Amazon - a real headache to return. Thank you for answering my query - I do appreciate it very much.

[@AudreyRaDesign]

You're welcome~ I hope you're able to return it with no headaches.

[@leanngoodall7602]

I often add them to similar regular colours of watercolour...I've had good results that way on cold press white paper. I especially do this for holiday and birthday cards.

You are so cute
